General Paasoneor Agent Lomax of the
Union Pacific said to a Jinn man yesterday
that Ills trip to Salt Lalco was for the
purpose of arranging an agreement with the
Denver & Klo Grande people so far ns the
itato of. Utali was concerned as to passen
ger rates , Mr. Munroo having pone west for
a Mmllar purpose ns to freight rates.
"For sotno tlmo east rates In Utah have
been chaotic , duo to the opening up of now
mining territory , " said Mr. Loinax , "and It
was fir the purpose of imilclng an agreement
latlsfactoryto both the Union I'aclllo and
Klo Grande that the trip to Salt Lake was
made at this tlmo.
Utnli Control SntlHllocl.
"While In Salt Lake I took occasion to
make Inquiry Into the rumors of dissatisfac
tion on the part of thn Utah Central people ,
but found that the matter had been greatly
exaggerated. Without the main line of the
Union Pacific the roads in Utah would belike
n. 'nlir In n noko. ' nnd ntmrRClatiri ? this , tne.v
nre perfectly satisfied with the present con
ditions , although a certain clement of the
minority have talked a good deal about pro
ceedings In tlio same nature the Union Pa
cific , Denver & Gulf have successfully car
ried out. Hut even In thn Union Paciflr ,
DenvetvA Gulf case It luis been a small min
ority that lias forced a separation ot the In
terests. The Utah Central lines have stood
better In the financial world BIIICO their as
sociation with the Union Pacific system
than w en they were Independent corpora
tions , and bondholders knowing the present
condition of tilings will bo very chary of
breaking away or following In the footsteps
of ex-Governor John Evans of the Union Pa-
clllc , Denver & Gulf. "
rndny'a Chicago Meeting.
Mr. Lomnx was asked as to the probable
outcome of the meeting today at the
Great Northern hotel at Chicago , anent
transcontinental rates.
Said Mr. I-omax : "Tho mooting promises
to bo the most Influential in the history of
transcontinental affairs hold for years.
There will bo closer ( Inuring than Is usual at
such meetings , for the four great lines , thn
Canadian Pacific , Great Northern , Northern
Pa clllc and Union Pacific appreciate the im
portance of the discussion , and the outcome
of the meeting is looked forward to with
great interest.
"Tho Canadian Pacific has presented two
differentials for consideration , ono from
Port Arthur at the head of Lake Superior ,
nnd the other from St. Paul. While I think
the differential from Port Arthur will bo
favorably considered , although I have doubts
ns to the amount of the' differential. $10 and
$5. referring to first and second class
tickets , being allowed , I have consid
erable misgiving as to thn St. Paul
differential now In torco being continued.
The Canadian Pacific is selling $10 and $5
cheaper from St. Paul to Vancouver than
either of the other lines , although a con
siderably shorter line , and 1 am not so sure
that ; the road is not shorter to Seattle. The
Great Not them has done the eminently
proper thing by selling tickets $10 and $5
higher than the Canadian Pacific according
to'tho agreement made , but Hr.-Hill Is right
when ho questions tlio advisability ot extending -
tending tliis differential indefinitely.
Ciiimillim J'nclllu'i. Position.
' 'Tho ' truth of the matter Is the Canadian
Pacific has everything to gain and nothing
to lose in this , fight. It Is supported by the
government and Is in every way a strong
competitor of the American lines. Its
equipment is well nigh ported , its train
service above criticism and it makes as
good tlmo as any of its competitors , and ,
having a shorter route to tlio Sound country ,
Its demand for a differential from St. Paul
Beems to mo to bo rather impertinent.
Along the s\mo : lines I might demand a dif
ferential from the Burlington or Rook
Island on Denver business. If 1 managed to
secure it all right so much gained , but If the
roads protested I suppose the Union Pacific
w'oiild have to go into competition unaided.
_ "Ono thing is certain , while the Canadian
Pacific holds the key to the situation tap
ping the NeV England states , Wisconsin ,
Michigan and Minnesota , I don't believe tno
American lines will stand any arrogance on
the part of 'the Cannucks' and unless some
agreement is readied at the session tomor
row the liveliest sort of a war may bo looked
for. Mr. Hill and Mr. Oakes are notto bo
trifled with , and the Canadian Pacific people
ple are aware of it.
"It is a fact since this war over transcon
tinental rates has bcgn on the Canadian
Pacific has been hauling passontrers from
Vancouver to St. Paul for $4 , n distance of
nearly 2,000 nillss , after boat charges -wore
deducted , " concluded Mr. Lomax. "Now
this state of things cannot go on forever and
therefore the greatest interest obtains in
the meeting ; tomorrow at the Great North
ern , "
FA YOU THE 1'llOJECT.
Eiprcsjlons from Itnilvruy Men on the Xew
Union Depot Question.
Speaking of the now union depot scheme
nt the foot of Farnam street , Mr. Charles
Kennedy , northwestern passenger agent of
the Ilock Island said that it was the most
feasible scheme that could bo dovlsed.
"
"Omaha , " said he , "lost thousands of dollars
lars the past year bccauso of the Impression
the present ramshackle structure made on
tourists passing through the metropolis , and
during the Knights of Templar conclave to
Denver the city suffered greatly by contrast
with the depot in the Mountain City. I am
glad to sco some such scheme evolved and
only hope the depot will bo built. Certainly
the namof of the. liuornorutora of the Metro
politan Depot and Hallway company show
that 'business1 is meant"
.1. O ! of
, Philllpp the Missouri Pacific was
emphatic in support of the new site and
laid that a depot on the broad lines indi
cated in TUB HEU would do more for the city
thnn anything of a similar nature in the
past ten years.
General Manager Holdrego of thn Bur
lington declined to glvo nn opinion as to the
merits of the scheme , expressing a willing
ness toyait until ho know what the action
of the eastern lines would bo ns to incur
ring additional expense in the matter of
supporting tlio now structure.
President Clnrk was also of the opinion
that "deeds not words'1 were needed at this
tlmo and closed up like a clam when asked
if ho was a supporter of the now project.
I Miiy Go Witlt thn Gulf ,
There was a rumor In railway circles yes
terday that Mr. C. S. Stobblns , formerly
general ticket agent of the Union Pacific
and latterly secretary of the transmissourl
committee of the Western Passenger asso-
elation , was to bo made general passeimor
ngent of the Denver , Texas & Gulf road ,
with headquarters at Denver. It Is knowu
that Mr. Stobblns was In Denver last
wucl : In consultation with HccolverTrumbull
but the outcome of the interview could not
bo learned. There nro nearly forty appli
cants for the position of general passenger
igent of the blfurc.itcd road , Mr. Temple-
formerly of the Union Pncltlo , being en ,
ttoraed by a number of tlio leading men of
Deliver , but Mr , Stobblns hus made a repu
tation for himself lu the passenger business ,
and what Is morn to the point , It Is under
stood , h backed by Mr. Clark , president of
the Union Pacific.
A dispatch from Denver announces that
Mr. Stabblns will receive the appointment
Immediately after Uccolvcr TrumbulPs re
turn from Texas , where ho has gone on a
lour of Inspection.
The application of Hccolvor Trumbull to
have his authority extended over the Gulf
line beyond the state of Colorado und that
tno lines of the Denver , Texas ft Gulf In
New Mexico , Nebraska and Wyoming bo
transferred in trust to him , was anruon
Tuesday before Judge Hallol' tu the United

By that decrco the receivers' certificates

LINCOLN , .lan. 0. [ Special to Tun Br.n. ]
Official notice of the final ordnr of the
State Board of Transportation m reference
to the reduction of liny rates on the Eilchorn
railroad was served on General Monnger
Burt today. The substance of the ruling is
that the now schedule of rates on hay an
nounced by the HlKhorn company October
3 , 1S03 , Is unreasonable and unjiut and that
the preliminary order of the board adopted
Novembers ; ! , 1S03 , on tno subject is fair and
reasonable and the company is required to
govern itself accordingly.
The board found that the shipments of hay
originating on the Elkhorn road In Nebraska
'
amounted'in ISS'J ' to 1G)3 ! ) ! ) tons , In Ib',13 to M-
410 tons , In 1801 to 41S'J8 tons , In 189U to 28-
7iO ! tons , in IblW to U,4''r tons , and that the
shipments of the present year will amount
to from 50,000 to 00,000 tons. It further ap
pears that this is the chief product of much
of the territory traversed by the line in
the state , together with grain , and that-this
is another reason for keeping the rates
down. The grain shipments constituted 40
per cent of the freight handled on the road
during the year ending June 110,1893 , nnd
the shipments of hay for the sarao period
were 4 per cent of all the freight of the
company.
It is thought the case will bo carried to
the courts.

SUTTO.S , Nob. , Jan. 8. [ Special Telegram
to THE BKE.J The transfer switch question
was up before Secretaries Johnson nnd
Koontzo hero today. The testimony devel
oped that a transfer switch hero connecting
the B. & M. with the Kansas
City & Omaha would require to bo
about 8,000 foot long and would cost
about $4,000. There were none ot the
business men or shippers on cither line of
road who appeared before the board to advo
cate a.switch. The entire testimony , not
otily from the railroad experts present , but
from the business men here , was to the effect
that there Is no demand here for the switch
and no practical use it would serve the pub
lic olther at Sutton oraqjoining towns. The
secretaries go from hero to Harvard , where
they hold forth tomorrow , nnd from there to
Hastings , where they will take testimony
Friday and Saturday on the question.

DENVER , Jan. n. Some comment has been
caused , by the fact that the interest on the
Colorado Central bonds and on the consoli
dated bonds of the Gulf system , duo'In ' December -
comber and January , lias not been paid. Tlio
receiver has not applied to the court for
authority to pay the same , it is understood ,
and the possibility of a foreclosure tins been
raised again. It is quite evident tliat the
bondholders are In sympathy with the reor
ganization of thn Union Pacific in its orig
inal entirety , and are watching the situation
very closely. Unless the receiver can got
the system In shape to meet the Interest duo
In Juun nnd pay the overdue interest li is
the opinion of some parties interested that
foreclosure proceedings will follow. Men
who are familiar with the ability of Re
ceiver Trumbull say if the revenue can oo
had out of the Gulf ho will get it and will
moot nil of the obligations. .

Sioux CITV , Jan. 8. [ Special Telegram to
THE BitEj-Tho Sioux City. O'Neill & West-
era road has filed n remarkable answer In
the foreclosure proceedings began against it
by the Manhattan Trust company , trustee
for the bonds. The company declares
that Its total capitalization was
nlaccd at nearly $0.000,000 on 180
miles of road , or three times its cost. This
Is contrary to the constitution and laws of
NobraRka which expressly provide against
such overcapitalization. The directors ask ,
therefore , that all the stocks aix bonds bo
declared void and tlio road turned over to
the assignee of the Union Loan nnd Trust
company for the benefit of the trust com
pany's creditors , who advanced the money
to build the road.

will bo represented and will demand its dif

there Is almost no chance a tall of Its request

day that the Canadian Pacific , if granted its
differential to San Francisco , will bo willing
to grant a differential to other lines on north
Pacific coast points. This would bo simply
n reduction of rates , provided the differ
entials wcro equal. Tno other lines will
light strong against the granting of any
differentials whatever ,

FOR CONTEMPT OF COURT

The wedge that was used a few days ago
In prying open the burr of n legal chest

getting Into deep and serious trouble. If

men , who happen to 1m vo their names en
rolled as attorneys at luw.wlll bo called upon
to show cnuso why they should not uo dis
barred , while the other individual will try
to convince Judge Ambrose that ho ought
not to bo sent to Jail.
Standing out In bold relief there is an en
try upon the docket of the law court charg
ing that , willfully and maliciously , David li.
Van Ktton , Julius S. Coolov and Theodora
Gallagher conspired together for the pur
pose of not only misleading some of the citi
zens of the city , but a Judge of the district
court , by securing affidavits which were
based wholly upon misrepresentations.
Ilintory of tlio Cane.
Long years ago David U Van Etton nnd
his wife , Emma , came Into possession of n
lot on Hartley street , some distance west of
the cable tramway power house , upon which
n cottngo was erected during the summer of
18S3. The lumber used in the construction
of this cottage was bought from George A ,
Hoagland , but as It has never been paid fern
n suit now in court Is the primary cause of
the troubles of the thrco men heretofore
mentioned.
During the fall of 1883 Hoagland sued the
Von Ettcns and got 11 judgment for the full
amount of the tiobt , $803 , but not being satis
fied with the findings of the court and jury
the defendants went up to the supreme
court , where the decision of the lower court
was sustained. The mandate came back
and , after being duly entered , a notice of
sale of the premises was ordered , but right
at this point Van Etten commenced
to got in his fine work. Ho moved
for n new trial , alleging that there was
newly discovered evidence , and upon the
showing made the case ugain got bacir into
the district court , where all of the old straw
was threshed over again , but with the same
result as upon the former trial. Once more
Van Ettcn worked the case up to tlio
supreme court and once more the ilndings of
the lower courts were sustained. Execution
was issued and the property ordered sold to
satisfy tno judgment , but being equal to the
emergency , by some legal hook or crook ]
Van Etten got a new trial and for the third
time forced his case into the courts. Again
ho was knocked over ttio ropes nnd again ho
went up to the supreme court , there to meet
with the same success that had crowned his
erforts upon two former occasions.
Thinking that tills was the third time nnd
out , Hoaglcnd got his order of sale and ad
vertised the property , which was offered by
the sheriff a few weeks ago at public auc
tion. For n time thn matter was at rest , but
yesterday there was a complete changu in
the situation , and Messrs. Van Etten , Galla
gher and Cooley were jerked into court on
contempt proceedings , the charge being that
they , each and all , had been doing some
crooked work.
How AflldnvltR Wrro Secured.
According to the afildavlts on fild the story
is to the effect that shortly after ; the sale
was made by the sheriff , Van Etten enlisted
Gallagher and Cooley In his behalf In an
effort to undo what had been done by the
court. The affidavits show that soon after
the sale the three men went to E. C. Gur-
vm , George II. Fitcnett , O. J. Karbach ,
W. W. Lowe , George J. Paul and It. P.
Hamilton , all prominent real estate men
of the city.and told them that the city coun
cil was considering the property ns the loca
tion for the proposed market house , and
thatun appraisement of the ground was
wanted , that it might bo presented to the
council , that that body might intelligently
fix the value. In each instance the thrco
men are alleged to have insisted that the
value should be fixed at a high tlcuro. The
appraisements wcro made and in the end
they all found their way Into the possession
of VnniEtten , who filed them in the office of
the clerk of the district court , for the purpose
"
pose of showing that tlio sale made by" the
sheriff below the two-thirds
was - appraise
ment value , as required by law.
With these false appraisements. Van
Ettcn Tuesday afternoon went before
Judge Ambrose , where ho asked to have Uio
sale sot aside. The judge thought tno pro
ceeding a trillo peculiar , nnd nt once com
menced an investigation , which resulted in
finding out that when Cooley went to Kar
bach lie represented that ho was getting a
lot of foreign capital into Omaha , and that
if ho got a high appraisement ho would get a'
large loan upon the property. This same in
vestigation showed that the market house
scheme was worked upon the other apprais
ers. Upon learning the facts , warrants were
issued for the arrest of the three men , Van
Elton , Cooley and Gallagher , and placed lu
the hands for service. Cooley could mot bo
found , but the other parties were arraigned
in court , where they pleaded not guilty , nnd
the hearing was continued until this
morning.

RELATES TO BOND OF COUNTY TREASURER

The situation In the ofllco of the county
treasurer Is in a condition that causes the
county commissioners considerable anxiety ,
but It will como to n show down this after
noon , when the board holds Its last meet i-g
prior to turning the affairs of the county
over to the members of the now board.
Some years ago the members of the Board
of County Commissioners passed a resolu
tion fixing the bond of the county treasurer
In the sum of $ iUOO. ( ) Since that date
tlioro never has been any action taken with
reference to the amount of the bond , the
custom being that , each Incoming treasurer
should give n bond of $250,000 , the sureties
to bo approved by the board. Two years
ngo , when Mr. Iroy was elected to the ofllec ,
the commissioners accepted nnd approved a
n bond in this ninount nnd there the matter
rested , notwithstanding the fact that the
statutes provided that with each adminis
tration the bond of tlio treasurer should bo
placed nt double the amount of the cash
that might come into the hands of thoofll-
clal during his term.
County \\ltliout.Sconrlty.
Taking this view of the situation some of
the commissioners are of the opinion that
during the past two years the county has
bocn without : i legal bond from tlio treas
urer.
Last July , when Treasurer Iroy made his
semi-annual report to the board , the docu
ment showed that ho had $300,000 of county
money on hand , or J.10,000 moro than the
amount of the bond. This caused the com
missioners to bo somewhat alarmed , and
soon after the July meeting they passed a
resolution that when Mr. Irey's successor
was elected ho would bo required to give a
bond in at least $700,000 , or In double the
amount which might come Into his hands
during the term beginning with the first of
the present fiscal year.
It so happened that Mr. Ircy was elected
as his own successor , but when the bonds of
the other oflleials-elect wore presented that
of Mr. Iroy did not appear. Owlnir to the
fact that the bond was In a largo amount ,
the commissioners thought nothing of the
delay , and consequently adjourned from day
to day , waiting for the bond to bo presented.
Alny Dccliiro Ills Olllco Vrtcant.
Last 'night , however , the members of the
board were given to understand that the
$700,000 bond had not been secured , and that
the chances were that it would not bo pre
sented for their approval today , Mr. Iroy
holding that having been elected his own
successor ho would simply hold over , and
that the old bond would continue in force.
Snould this course bo adopted the meet
ing this afternoon is liable to bo a very in-
terestinc session , ns a majority of the mem
bers have decided to pass a resolution de
claring the ofllco of county treasurer va
cant.

Congressman Wilson of West Virginia , the framer
of the much abused "Wilson Bill" is no doubt a commer
cial genius. The measure is framed for the reduction of
the tariff , also a reduction of the treasury ( ? ) surplus
The idea of herding up mountains of silver , when we
can issue paper bonds and buy a clean supply of silver
every year is ridiculous. Give the masses the benefit of
what you can easily spare and let the treasury take care
of itself Precisely as the Nebraska deals with that
popular
Semi-Annual Odd and Ends Sale.
We consider a most suicidal policy , for us to herd
up broken lots when we can obtain brand new and fresh
stock , Thus we qfive the masses the benefit , regardless
jDf what our treasury suffers We arc just in claiming the
ace of trump , for completeness of stock at every begin
ning of a season.
